Rich History
Ron Lubke founded Quality Metal Works in September of 1983, after receiving an Agricultural Engineering Degree from Western Illinois University and spending 12 years as Project/Chief Engineer for three mid-sized manufacturing companies. He developed most of what Quality Metal Works markets because he was aware of farmers' direct need for those products.
Agricultural Breakthrough
In 1984, Ron started the weed wiper area of the business, with Quality Metal Works building carts that were compatible with Speidel Applicator® brand weed wipers. Since then, the business has expanded to include a full line of weed wiping equipment, including ATV Mounting Brackets.
Growth and Partnership
In 1998, Quality Metal Works moved to a larger facility due to steady business growth. The following year, Quality Metal Works purchased the Speidel Applicator® business and began manufacturing wick applicators.
Scott Dailey serves as the owner at Quality Metal Works. He has worked alongside Ron for over 11 years and has a passion to create lasting relationships with every customer.
